Hello all,
 
Is it possible to install disc brakes on the rear of a 92 Honda Accord 4 dr. sendan LX.
What type of parts would I need and how difficult is it to install.
My car has drum brakes on the rear. Disc on the front.
Thanks,
94shadow

Yes, my 92 EX had rear disk brakes, and ABS (which saved me a couple times). You would need rotors, calipers, and probably different emergency brake cable hookups and hoses. If you could find an old EX in a junkyard, you could get the parts cheap.

Thanks a lot elroy5. I'll check around on the website and junkyards.
Here in Hawaii, we have just a few junkyards and they charge a hand and leg for the used old parts.
I'll start looking on ebay first.
Oh! by the way, what does the ABS look like. Since I hav'nt owned a car with an ABS system. It's good to have but, i'll just go without it if it is possible.
Thanks for all the help in the past with my automatic transmission.
I know quite a bit about A/T and how it works.

Its not something that's ever been "fixed" for me. Its not a problem, really. I consider it just part of the normal operation, sort of like the ABS buzz at 4MPH after each start up. My dad's 03 and 05s did this too. No brake problems to speak of whatsoever; I have 51k miles on all 4 original pads, with plenty of life left.

The ABS conversion would be difficult. There are a wide range of parts (sensors wire harnesses, etc.) that would have to be changed/installed. It would be much easier, to just do the disk brake swap, and be satisfied with that. Hope you get what you want.

2009 Honda Accord - 6 Months by chloebee

I've read a few postings here and complaints else where. It seems that several people are having the same problems. I've only had my car for 6 months (I have app. 18,000 miles) About two weeks ago I started hearing a squealing sound while driving only. I never heard it when I braked. Very strange if you ask me. I took my car back to Honda and I was told that I needed to replace my rear brakes. I have a far commute to work everyday, fighting traffic etc. and I was thinking that maybe I did need brakes already. I also got a second opinion, just to be safe. I found that I'm in need of rear brakes but only on one side. I have a 97 Honda Accord that I drove to work everyday for 5 years and I never had to replace the brakes that soon. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but I'm just comparing the two.
 
My husband and I are really trying to monitor the issue. I'm going to get the brakes fixed at the dealership this weekend. If anybody wants to reply and share their issue or experience, please do so. Thanks! I'm just upset that I haven't had it for year.

If your 97 Accord had rear drum brakes, that would explain some of it. The 08+ Accords are obviously wearing the rear pads quickly. Has the dealership offered some discount on the brake service, since it's so early? If the rear brakes didn't last at least 20k miles, I would consider aftermarket pads, and maybe rotors too.

2008 Honda Accord LX Brake problem by hackattack5

My 2008 Honda Accord has 19,000 miles on it and the rear brakes are very noisy. After reading a long term wrap up on an 08 Accord in Car & Driver magazine they had to replace the rear brakes after 20,000 miles. I know that they are probably metal on metal but I do not have any cash to fix them because I have only made 14 out of my 60 payments! What ever happened to making it to 3 years before they started costing major maintenance cost. You had better look out Honda because if you you are going to build this kind of crap I am going back to ford.
